Join Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie as they sit down for Vogue Australia to discuss the first time they met, acting, working with Emerald Fennel and shooting Saltburn. Now in the spotlight for Wuthering Heights, they discuss what it was like arriving in LA as first-time actors, filming The Kissing Booth and how far they've both come.
Hi Vogue Australia, I'm Margot Robbie.
And I'm Jacob Alloy.
And we're just having a chat.
Guys, we actually have worked together before.
Jacob.
What was your first impression of me?
Well, I remember the first time I saw you, actually.
I had jumped the fence
at the Chateau Marmont.
I had not jumped the fence, but
I jumped the party.
You were at a Chanel party.
And I was not yet in movies, really.
I had made, like, one movie.
Well, there was also at Oil Can Harris.
And you were there.
I remember seeing you there as well.
I saw you, but we didn't meet.
Why were you there that night?
I was crashing another party of yours, actually.
You never get invited anywhere?
Yeah, no, I was like a plus three.
The next time,
I was driving my car
to base camp from the Saltburn house.
And you were just walking by.
You were walking yourself back through the mud
to the thing.
But now that I know you better,
I'm actually completely heads up.
And I rolled down the window and you jumped in the car.
Was there a time before? You don't remember that either?
This is the fourth thing you haven't remembered
with me.
Weirdly enough, I don't remember getting in the car with you.
Do you know that we made a movie together?
We've met before, right?
You look so familiar.
I remember
talking to you at lunchtime
on Saltburn and we were sitting
in the grassy bit where everyone would
eat lunch every day.
That's when I sat down with the actor.
Because I was like,
I'm not an actor on this and I feel so distant
from all the other actors.
And I was like, I miss being at the actor table.
Okay, good answers.
Ask me anything.
When did you first meet Emerald?
A wonderful question, Jacob.
I don't know what year it was, but it was many, many years ago.
She had written this Half Hour Network
pilot that we loved and wanted to
produce.
We didn't actually get it, but we got to meet her
and she came in and she was just
so cool and funny.
She was so witty and
gorgeous and all the things.
I was just sitting there like, I just want to be
friends with you.
Can we have a sleepover?
But yeah, we were just so
taken with her and we were just kind of like,
I know we're not getting your
pilot, but
is there anything else?
Can we have anything of yours?
She pitched us The Cold Open
to Promising Young Woman.
Wherever that story goes,
we want to make that.
So then we made Promising Young Woman
with her and then Saltburn,
of course, and now Wuthering.
Third one.
I, by the way, was the first person
to say that you should be in Saltburn.
As soon as I read the script, I literally
finished reading the script and I was like, Jacob
already has to play Felix.
Euphoria.
I'm so glad for that.
Can I ask general questions?
Could you test from home
or is it like you had to get the flight?
Physically, but you couldn't even send
tapes.
The only tape I ever sent,
I sent one tape from Australia.
It was for one of the Twilight
movies.
And I remember because I was working on Neighbours
at the time, I asked
in our lunch break, I asked the crew,
do you guys mind filming it on a
proper camera? Because otherwise
it was going to be my video camera at home.
Which was good at that point, absolutely.
Yeah, and I remember they were all
so sweet and everyone
stayed for the lunch break, filmed my audition
on the proper, because
it's a multi-camera show, so I had
three angles.
And they were all so sweet and they were like
I really hope you get it.
And I didn't, obviously, but it was really cute.
That would be one of the first self-tapes.
Do you know what's so rogue?
When I got here, Uber didn't even exist.
I sound like I'm a thousand years old now,
but when I got here in
2011
or the end of 2010,
Uber wasn't around yet, so you had to
get a taxi around LA.
It was like $300 a day
to get a cab around. You'd be late for everything
because then I was driving to auditions
and I'd be like, alright, next up I'm going to be
a doctor. So I'm like driving,
changing my makeup,
putting on a blouse, and the next
time I'm like, 16 year old high school
girl. So then I'm like, flicking
my hair out and putting on a red lip.
There's something really beautiful about that.
There's something that's an active process
that feels like the moving.
Now it's like you do it all
in your living room and then someone sits at their computer
and goes, dude, I feel
bad for the people that have to do it.
Yeah, and it's also interesting
because some people are
better on a self-tape and some people are better in a room.
Some people prefer it, yeah.
If you suck at a self-tape,
if you need the adrenaline of knowing that
real people are watching you in real
time to get there, and I feel
like I was one of those people.
I couldn't, I'm better
when I'm freaking out
and then I'm like, ah, I've got to really do it now.
But in a self-tape, it'd be harder.
If you're good at self-tape, you're also creating something
that maybe isn't
the thing. You can't get the vibe.
You've been meticulous about it.
So wait, did you self-tape for Phone Booth?
Kissing Booth?
That's my first one.
Have you ever seen Phone Booth, by the way?
Colin Farrell?
Banger! Banger of a film.
I love that film.
I self-taped
and then Chemistry Red
with the director on Zoom.
Oh no, it must have been on like
Zoom wasn't a thing, but something like that.
Skype?
Probably would have been Skype.
You know when it just keeps going?
You know they're not going to answer, but it goes for longer than a regular phone.
It could go for 40 minutes.
You could just keep calling.
It's so bad.
And then I came over and they were still pilot season
so they didn't work after that movie
and I was doing the grid driving
around in a Camry.
My friend drove a Camry.
Stupid, I had a Camry growing up.
Well, not I didn't, but the family car.
First it was a gold Camry,
then it was a silver Land Cruiser.
We had a family Tarago.
Tarago, of course we did!
I feel like there's not enough kids in your family
to warrant a Tarago.
Well, three of us could be in the car
at any one time, but my sister and I had space.
Three of you?
I have my brother as well.
Wait, you have a brother?
I have three sisters.
Wait, what?
I thought we were close. I knew it was a spell.
Next question.
Okay, get back on track.
What are we talking about?
Sorry for anyone who's listening to this
because I've got many more
questions to ask.
